Real question: is it iMessages or just Messages? I thought they started as iMessages but then dropped the i a few years back. I could be wrong.

Every time I read iMessages, I think iWatch. ?

Edit: is iMessage a type of Message??

The app is Messages, but iMessage is the Apple to Apple messaging service.
